Dr. Xiaodi Wang

I have been teaching assistant for bachelor and master level macroeconomic courses. I give tutorials and lectures on mathematics and computational skills.

I worked as a research assistant for Professor Michele Tertilt on the project "An Equilibrium Model of the African HIV/AIDS Epidemic". The main tasks were: Data collection and analysis in Stata with health and economic data of African countries; Model programming and model estimation in Matlab; Literature review; Teamwork on problem solving and progress management. The paper we worked on was accepted by the journal Econometrica.

I was an Intern in the Futures Fund Investment Group at a hedge fund company. The main tasks were: Daily updating of data on investment portfolios with Excel and SQL, particularly on copper, aluminum, iron ore, silver, gold, platinum and palladium; Investment model modification based on supply and demand side information; Assistant in investment decision making. The value of the investment portfolio I worked on increased by 14% during the year.
